Is there a verified way to set a desktop background picture in the Finder under OS X? I tried script recording the actions of going into the Preferences and setting it, but that did not work.

Desktop picture?

Try the free application ChangeDesktop, available (with source!) for free from http://www.classicalguitar.net/brian/software/
It's not applescript, it's a cocoa application, but it may either provide what you need straight away (dunno if it's applescriptable) or the source code may enlighten you.





tell application "Finder"
set the desktop picture to document file "Tiles Warm Grey.jpg" of folder "Desktop Pictures" of folder "Library" of the startup disk
end tell
I don't know of a way to script setting the background picture for a Finder window, yet, as of Panther.
